[LC++]Producing a log of routine entry and exit

[Vincent Penquerc'h]

class EntryExitLogger {
private:
  string name;
public:
  EntryExitLogger(const char *name): name(name)
  {
    fprintf(stderr,"Entering %s\n",name);
  }
  ~EntryExitLogger()
  {
    fprintf(stderr,"Exiting %s\n",name);
  }
};

#define EELOG EntryExitLogger entry_exit_logger(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__);

void foo()
{
  EELOG
  // Do stuff
}

__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ may not be the right spelling, check the docs.


If you want the parameters, then it becomes way more complicated.
If you want an automated thing, your best bet is to either modify
the code to GCC to insert such code (yuck) or have some code to
interpret the function signature and peek on the stack what it says
is there (probably rather flaky).
